ABSTRACT The study assessed the level of teachers’ utilisation of outdoor science educational activities in teaching basic science and technology in Ebonyi state. The study was guided by six (6) research questions and five (5) hypotheses. The population of the study comprised all the ten thousand, five hundred and twenty six (10 526) basic science and technology teachers in Ebonyi state from which a sample of one thousand fifty six (1 056) was drawn. Six (6) researcher developed basic science and technology teachers’ utilisation of outdoor science educational activities questionnaires for the six (6) classes in the primary schools were used to sought information on how often teachers utilise outdoor science educational activities with respect to their qualification, years of teaching experience, gender, school location and basic education level. Mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research questions while ttest of significance was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance was used to test the hypotheses ay 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that teachers generally less often utilise outdoor science educational activities in teaching basic science and technology, though, those in primary 1 and 2 often do. Teachers’ qualifications and gender were found not to influence the utilisation of outdoor science educational activities in teaching basic science and technology while their years of teaching experience, school location and basic education level were found to influence the utilisation of these activities. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made which include; regular organisation of conferences, seminar and workshops for in-service teachers on the use of outdoor activities, financial provision for outdoor activities by ministries of education and boards of education, restructuring of teachers training curriculum to acquaint the student-teachers with skills of using outdoor activities in teaching, development of outdoor science educational handbook to serve as guide on the use of outdoor activities in teaching etc.
